Austin nodded and asked, "So Mrs. Fu will come to take care of you every day?"
Jack did not even bother to roll his eyes at Austin. 'He's too obtuse to take the hint.'
"Alright, I'll come clean. She will come here to take care of me. I just don't want others to think that she comes here to be my nanny. I don't want to hear that kind of chatter around. Do you understand me, Austin?"
Austin was trying his best not to burst out in laughter. "I understand, sir," he nodded.
'Is he afraid that people might think he has Rachel beside him just because she's a doctor?' he wondered.
Jack wasn't the kind of person that would flaunt anything to others, but when he decided to be with Rachel, he wanted the people around him to know.
When he was together with Celine, he had tried to hide the fact that he was married, so a lot of people believed that he was never married.
But now, he didn't want anyone to misunderstand Rachel.
He was the one who did something wrong. When word got out that he had been married five years ago, it also meant that he had an affair with Celine for the past few years.
Only people in the business circle knew this.
He never wanted Rachel to be the subject of rumors and issues.
Rachel shouldn't have to suffer the consequences of his actions and be involved in pointless chatters. Jack had never involved her in his social circle before, but now it seemed like it was inevitable. He knew well that he had to prepare for anything that might arise.
Jack had been worrying about his wife the whole day. Earlier this morning, he sent her two messages, and all he got were words that barely held any affection.
One was "The house
ing. "Mr. Fu, have you registered your marriage?"
They guessed that they had registered their marriage but they had not conducted a ceremony yet.
And they were right on the money. It was true that Jack and Rachel had gotten married without a celebration. At the time, they only invited some of their relatives and held the marriage abroad.
Not even their closest friends could attend the wedding.
"It was registered five years ago," Jack responded flatly, holding her hand under the table.
They were even more shocked than before.
Rachel acted like nothing unusual had been said, as if she wasn't staring at a bunch of astound people.
Out of everyone, Austin was the calmest. He had known about this all along after all.
Seeing that his colleagues were all too dumbfounded to say another word. Jack pressed his fist against his lips and cleared his throat. "Let's go have lunch."
It was an uneasy lunch. The managers present were all the right-hand assistants of Jack. They knew that Jack would give them what for if they kept acting like idiots.
They have to stay calm no matter what they were thinking right now.
They introduced themselves to Rachel one after the other. They were glad that she responded so kindly to them.
While they were seated together, everyone thought that they looked like a lovely couple.
It was just a private gathering. Jack wanted the people around him to get familiar with her first.
It was his own way of showing Rachel a glimpse of his work life and social circle little by little. He didn't really want her to blend into his social circle, but he at least wanted her to be familiar with the people he sat down with.
